( We've added this second class to accommodate more children )

In this five week series, (4 min - 10 student max) children’s ages 3-6 will sing and play their way to a better understanding of their growing bodies. Practicing yoga at this age will help not only gross motor skills, but also help children to find ways to decrease frustration responses, teach them self-responsibility, and enhance concentration through breath. This series will also provide an opportunity for social development, encouraging peer- and self-esteem. *In order to encourage their growing sense of self, we ask that caregivers and parents do not attend, but urge them to go to the concurrent all-levels vinyasa class. Drawing on the interests of preschoolers, the class will be tailored to fit the attentional needs of the children in it - with lots of different activities including stories, songs, games, and poses!

Before having her son in Sept. of 2013, Abby taught at a developmental preschool for 6 years. After earning her Yoga Teacher certification in May 2013, she knew the next step was to achieve further certification in Children’s Yoga, which she completed through Childlight Yoga in Winter of 2014. She feels very fortunate to be able to combine her two passions — working with children, and yoga.

About Abby Brennan

Abby began practicing yoga while pursuing her college degree in Philosophy and Religion with a concentration in Eastern religion. Yoga provided not only a sense of spiritual peace, but also a physical peace by relieving chronic low back pain Abby had experienced since high school. When she moved to Portland after graduating, she began working at a preschool, finding her true calling to be those children with severe behavioral and developmental delays. The physicality of her position took quite a toll on Abby’s back, and so she rediscovered yoga at Greener Postures. The heat was intimidating at first- but upon leaving her first class, she was sold- and hasn’t looked back. After completing her 200 hour training in the spring of 2013, Abby has enjoyed teaching in both indoor and outdoor spaces. She particularly enjoys specialized yoga practices- pre- and post-natal, children’s yoga, and meditation are just a few of her yogic interests. She would like to thank all of her teachers and fellow Sacred Seeds grads as well as everyone at Greener Postures for the opportunity to be a part of the wonderful yoga community of southern Maine!
